I do a fair amount of running around at the new gig, which means the usual rotation of 4-inch stilettos ain't cuttin' it. Enter the solution: flat sandals with ankle straps. Flat for obvious reasons, sandals so my toes can breathe, and ankle straps because they help keep my shoes on my feet (seriously, I have problems with this) and make my legs look slightly less chicken-like.

So I know I just took another unexpected hiatus, but it was for good reason, I promise: I finally took a break from errythang and went on a trip to Miami and Key West! I hung out on South Beach, did some shopping, relaxed on the beach, enjoyed yummy banana daiquiris by the pool, took a leisurely bike ride around the island, explored botanical gardens, and ate everything in sight--in short, it was an awesome...

I bought this vintage matador skirt from NVISION after seeing it at a fashion show and immediately falling in Fashion Love. You know that love-at-first-sight feeling you get when you see a dress/skirt/top that seems like it was made with you in mind? Yeah, it was like that.
